IF YOU STILL LOVE GOING TO THE MOVIES, THEN SOCAL MOVIE FANATICS IS THE PLACE TO BE!

In an age of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, countless torrent sites which enable you to download the latest movies, along with those pesky teenagers who are addicted to texting at your friendly neighborhood multiplex,SoCal Movie Fanatics (SCMF) hasremained dedicated to the beloved pastime of GOING TO THE MOVIES!

TV's are bigger than ever and surround sound systems put out sonic level audio. But NOTHING beat the experience of walking up to the theatre anticipating the next great flick. Yeah, your microwave can pop out a nice bag of popcorn, but your kitchen pales by comparison to the smell of freshly popped corn and (REAL!) melted butter on display at the concession stand. And no 70-80 inch HDTV can stand up to the experience of watching the curtains part at TCL Chinese Theatre or the Cinerama Dome @ ArcLight Hollywood revealing that massively huge screen projecting the next great Hollywood hit. Around here, going to the movies is AN EVENT. And no other Meetup group in LA does the movie-going experience better than SoCal Movie Fanatics!

Since 2006, SCMF been Meetup's prime destination for big screen excitement in the Los Angeles area! Every week we gather movie lovers across SoCal to the biggest & best theatres in town to see the latest and greatest films from Hollywood. If blockbusters are your thing, join us as we hit the biggest theatres with thebiggest screens & biggest sound, in town! If theindie, arthouse & foreign film scene is your thing, we've got a cluster of Fanatics who are dedicated to catching the finest & most eclectic films from those genres!

No matter what your cinematic preferences are, we promise you an awesome time at the movies! You'll see some great flicks (and a few stinkers too!). You'll eat some good food (we always go out to eat before/after the movie). You'll make some great new friends! You'll definitely have a good time with your movie-loving kindred spirits!

NOTE:We are not a free movie screening club. If you're looking for a hookup for free advance screenings, this is not the group for you. Ditto for those of you addicted to your Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu accounts. No disrespect, but we believe that movies were meant to be experienced ON THE BIG SCREEN! If you are happily disagree and would rather stay glued to your 50 inch TV, once again, this is not the group for you.
